To this day, I still prefer to sort through piles of photographs and flip through albums over scrolling through my phone&#8217;s gallery. I am a millennial, but I grew up knowing a time before digital landscapes of algorithms and oversharing. I still remember seeing a digital camera for the first time and wondering at its magic.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-sQrdGeEXfi4\/Vkyb-lBIozI\/AAAAAAAAEfQ\/so-lzWiTKMs\/s1600\/christina-conrad-accent-decor.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"640\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/christina-conrad-accent-decor.jpg\" width=\"640\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/640;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.accentdecor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/christina-conrad-accent-decor.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>photograph by<\/i> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.serenacevenini.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><i>Serena Cevenini<\/i><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>But if there&#8217;s one thing that keeps me from getting stuck in my ways, it&#8217;s my overwhelming curiosity of embracing technology and change in a way that can enhance a story rather than compete with it. I guess that&#8217;s the benefit of being born on the cusp of digital photography and social media. I knew and appreciated what came before, but I was positioned to gradually embrace and grow with this new future.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I spend most of my time taking photographs, writing, and learning how social media can be an incredible tool that connects people and the stories they love. I&#8217;m excited about the opportunity to share compelling stories for a company that&#8217;s passionate about their customers, innovative design, and their community.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<b>What Inspires Me:<\/b>&nbsp;I&#8217;m inspired by quiet moments, secret recipes, and sweeping landscapes on an overcast day.
